Dallas Big D Texas!!! Wow want a show- you showed the world last night that you rock HARD!!!!! So much fun. Thank you to everyone who brought a book. These sweet southern volunteers collected almost 1000 new books!!! We are that much closer to 25,000!!!! Xoxoxo thank you thank you thank you -jm

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas… Understandably this was by far the smallest total BUT it was by far the smallest venue- 3000 seats, so the total is on par with books per capita :) - however, that does not mean our volunteers weren’t as dedicated as the rest. They were! It’s always great meeting with you guys and talking about our goals and what we can do to help the world. Thanks, LV!!!

Irvine, CA xoxoo yes! Way to come strong- almost 1500 books! Who says Hollywood doesn’t care?! I know… You guys are in the sticks buy close enough:). It was a great show at a cool venue and these volunteers stood in the heat and walked the book beat. Thank you guys and thank you to everyone who came to this show with a book… You rock!!!

Concorde, California! Wow… I’m a little emotional. I knew you had heart, but now I know why Tony B. left his heart in San Francisco…. 1674 books!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoooooaaaaaaaa!!!! You know if Memphis didn’t have that secret sexy librarian, you guys would be the champs! (You might have to take your case the Supreme Court and win my vote). You have to know the impact you are making. The children’s programs that get these books at every city are utterly overwhelmed. They are thrilled when we load their cars and vans up with new books. Thank you for really showing how excited you are about this book drive- I’ll never forget it. I look forward to my next cable car ride and driving into the mountains of your beautiful neck of the woods. oxoxox -jm

Seattle/Tacoma (cuz we was on tha bohdah)….  The great people of these twin cities (not really twins but sisters maybe) brought 913 brand new books to the show!!!!!!!! That is no joke. Thank you to all these pretty volunteers :) You worked hard and long and I thank you for your love and commitment! You are the real deal. And even though it was cloudy that day, it did not hide the immense beauty. I’m sorry we could not all make to Denny’s after the show- that Wahlberg keeps quite a schedule :) I hope to see Seattle much sooner than later. oxoxxoxoxo Thank you thank you thank you. -jm

Yes sir! Thank you Kansas! Thank you volunteers! This was an inside show, so no heat or rain, but I know they did whatever they could for this book drive. Gawd luv ya! It was good to be back in Kansas- the great state of Bob Dole! “Joe Mac likes it! America likes it! Bob Dole likes it!”- BD. :)

I don ‘t have a count for the books we collected that night yet, but I’ll get it to you! It was a great show and once again we are humbled by your support and love.

Let’s continue this! oxoxoxoxxoxo -jm
